Chapter 1588 - 1591: Zhen Forces the Retreat!
Chapter 1588 - 1591: Zhen Forces the Retreat!
Everyone was shocked.
Niu Li was a strong figure at the late stage Grandmaster level!
He was not like the common rabble on the street but was truly a powerful figure!
Such a strong figure, no matter where he went, would command attention from any force. In most places around the world, he could easily reign supreme!
Yet now, he was killed in one blow by this seemingly ordinary young man!
How could these Niu Family members not be shocked?
Song Jianye and the other three elders were also profoundly stunned.
They knew Xu Hao's strength was extraordinary, yet when truly facing Xu Hao's full power, they realized what extraordinary truly meant!
Like Xu Hao at this moment!
Even a strong figure at the late stage Grandmaster level could be slain with a single strike!
Niu Fen was instantly filled with shock and anger, "Who... who exactly are you? Why do you possess such powerful strength at such a young age! You are definitely not from the Song family; they wouldn't have someone as formidable as you!"
Xu Hao said calmly, "I am but the person who kills you, that's all."
"Why... why are you against our Niu family? Is it for our Golden Horn? If you truly desire it, you can follow us to our family's residence to obtain it; we would certainly present it to you with both hands!"
Niu Fen's thoughts instantly shifted countless times, settling on this plan.
Xu Hao's power far exceeded his expectations. Facing such a formidable person, he must carefully consider his approach to prevent the Niu family from appearing too passive.
Thus, he needed to first stabilize Xu Hao. As long as Xu Hao was stabilized and brought to their family residence, then they would have control over him, wouldn't they?
Xu Hao paused for a moment, then suddenly laughed, "Interesting, your Niu family is indeed impressive, able to back down so quickly. I guess you're thinking of tricking me into your Niu family residence and then using a formation to trap me, right?"
Niu Fen immediately wanted to argue, but Song Jianye said, "The Young Master has it right. The Niu family absolutely has such a plan, thinking to lure you into their residence and then use their formation to trap and kill you!"
Xu Hao glanced at the Niu family members, chuckling lightly, "Do you think I would fall for that? Although I consider my strength sufficient, I am not foolish enough to walk into your Niu family directly. Actually, I have little interest in your so-called Golden Horn—it's merely a treasure, something I do not lack."
Upon hearing Xu Hao's words, everyone rolled their eyes.
No one believed Xu Hao didn't need treasures.
The Golden Horn certainly wasn't a mere artifact; it was a treasure!
Something tailored for Martial sovereign Level masters!
No entity would ever claim they didn't need treasures.
"However, if you Niu family members do not retreat today, I shall kill you all." Xu Hao said coldly.
"You... you! Fine! We'll leave immediately!"
Niu Fen proved himself aware of the circumstances; adhering to the principle of avoiding immediate loss, he led his people away swiftly.
The strength of Xu Hao made him wary of further provocation; the Niu family had struggled for three decades to restore its power, and he did not wish to jeopardize it here.
"Thank you, Young Master Xu, for your assistance!" Song Jianye and others were deeply grateful to Xu Hao.
Xu Hao waved his hand, smiling, "Just a casual help. I thought there would be a battle, yet didn't expect this result. Have people become increasingly cautious these days? Shouldn't they directly charge and fight for death?"
Song Jianye chuckled, "The Young Master jests. They are the heads of families, and naturally, they wouldn't gamble their families' fate lightly. Your strike just now overwhelmed them; without understanding your full capabilities, of course, they wouldn't engage you in battle."
Xu Hao nodded slightly, having no interest in lengthy battles, thus opting for the most straightforward and violent approach. Unexpectedly, the Niu family members were so self-preserving. Apparently, the painful lessons of thirty years ago taught them to act more cautiously.
The Moon Goddess Successor looked at Xu Hao with surprise, "I didn't expect you to let them leave."
Xu Hao chuckled softly, not responding to his question, but instead looked towards the entrance, speaking gently, "Some people are lurking outside, wouldn't that be problematic?"
"Someone's nearby?!"
The Moon Goddess Successor exclaimed in surprise.
At this moment, an elder dressed in red robes laughed heartily, seeming almost to float over from afar.
The Moon Goddess Successor's expression changed instantly; this elder's Qinggong had reached such an astonishing level!
Leaving No Trace on Snow, none better!
Song Jianye and others immediately became vigilant!
This elder was at least at the Great Perfection of Late Stage Grandmaster level, and certainly not an ordinary achiever of such level!
The invisible pressure from him left the three feeling as if facing a colossal threat.
Song Jianye even felt that this red-robed elder could easily overpower him!
